Fox 13 Tampa Bay, Gabrielle Reece, Gender Roles, Good Day Tampa Bay, Role Confusion, Submission

We were on Fox 13 Good Morning Tampa Bay yesterday morning with anchor Laura Moody . We discussed dealing with switched gender roles in relationships and Gabrielle Reece’s recent statements from her book including this one, “to truly be feminine means being soft, receptive, and [–look out, here it comes –] submissive.” This statement set off a firestorm of media reaction and a lot of controversy. For more information and to learn more of what she said, click here.

Watch the video below to see our thoughts on the subject and her statements. What are thoughts on what she said and gender roles in relationships in general?
